activist sustainability / engaged Buddhism retreat Social movements and communities can seem to be up against overwhelming odds at times. Personal burnout, organisational collapse and movement decline are all familiar experiences – taking energy, skills, networks and whole communities out of the fight. How can we sustain ourselves and our movements so as to bring about the really big transformations that are needed? And how can we bring more creativity, solidarity and liberation to our relationships with others who are struggling for change? This six-day event explores sustainability in how we relate to our bodies, minds and emotions; in how we relate to each other in our movements, networks and communities; and in how we relate to the wider social and natural world. It draws on activist and community learning about personal and collective sustainability in action; the radical tools developed by engaged Buddhists in Asia and the west; and the practical experience of sustaining an organic farm with a broad ecological perspective. New campaigners facing the wall, experienced activists looking for inspiration and a bigger picture, and spiritual practitioners committed to change in the wider world will all benefit from this event. |
